When I get older, I not only feel light, but also can't sleep for long. Yuxi only slept for half an hour before waking up.
After waking up, Yuxi asked Bingmei: "What's the situation outside now?"
Bingmei said: "You Wangye has arrested both the county magistrate and the county magistrate, and some of the officials involved in the case will soon be arrested." Most of the officials in Gucheng County were arrested.
In the evening, the two brothers Qixuan and Qiyou came back. Seeing the tired faces of the two of them, Yuxi said, "Water is ready. Go take a bath."
The two nodded.
When he came out, looking at a table of delicious dishes, Qiyou's exhaustion was wiped out: "Mother, you actually let the master cook braised pork with lion head?" Since he was sixty years old, Yuxi was not allowed. He eats things that are too greasy. So this time, it was really unexpected.
Yuxi smiled and said, "Thanks to you." Qiyou moved to live with them, and the food was relatively light. There is a lot of resentment in this regard. I really can't stand it, I ran out of the palace to fight the teeth,
Qiyou enjoyed this dinner very happily.
After eating, Qixuan said in front of Qiyou: "Die, I won't go to the Yamen tomorrow!" Helping Qiyou deal with things today, he was exhausted enough.
Qiyou wasn't happy anymore: "Brother, are you ashamed to watch me suffer alone?" I am getting older, and my energy is not as good as before. I feel tired after I have been busy for most of the day.
"It's hard work for those who can!"
Yuxi smiled and said: "A Hao will send someone down to take over the matter when he receives the letter. These days, your brothers are a little tired."
When the old mother had spoken, Qi Xuan was no longer willing and dared not to shirk.
Yuxi asked, "Has Dai Qisheng confessed?"
"This guy is so courageous, he actually bargained with me, saying that unless I promised to save his youngest son. Otherwise, he wouldn't say a word." After finishing, Qiyou shook his head and said: "But just say When I get up, my bones are really hard. No matter how you use torture, you just don’t let go."
Yuxi said lightly: "If you want to keep incense for yourself, why don't you know how to accumulate some merit for yourself!"
Qiyou sneered and said, "He thought I would agree to this, but it would be beautiful." Dai Qi was the first one to dare to threaten him.
Dai Qisheng's bones are hard, which doesn't mean that other people are like him. Xian Cheng and his minions couldn't stand the torture, so they all confessed. According to the confession from Dai Qisheng's confidant, Qiyou found the account book that Dai Yan had hidden. This account book records what gifts have been given to which officials over the years.
Qiyou said: "Mother, this county magistrate doesn't care, but he doesn't waste money. Dai Qisheng pays for his annual play and poem festival. At the end of the year, at least seven or eight thousand taels of silver. As for Xian Cheng. Every year, he will get three or four thousand silver from him." Everyone took advantage of the power of the classic history. It can be said that Gucheng County's government offices have basically participated in the distribution of spoils.
"Where are the officials from Xiangyang Prefecture and Zhizhou?"
Qiyou sneered and said, "The prefects of Xiangyang and Zhizhou have received his filial piety." Because of this, Dai Qisheng was able to do whatever he wanted in Gucheng County.
Yuxi thought more deeply: "I'm afraid that not only Gucheng County, but also the government offices in other places are also rotten. Qiyou, tomorrow you will take Zhang Zhentao to Xiangyang to control the Xiangyang prefecture and Zhizhou and others."
Qiyou naturally had no objection, but just asked, "Mother, who will deal with the things when I went to Xiangyang?"
"Let Qixuan handle it!"
With a cry, Qi Xuan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Mother, I can't handle it." He has been idle for so many years and is not familiar with official affairs. Let him take care of things, if something goes wrong, it won't be good.
Yuxi said: "It's just some daily official duties, it's not difficult. Don't worry, tell me when you encounter difficult decisions." This time they came out to play, and besides the guards, they only brought the doctor and the cook. Mother, there is no other person to use. If not, there is no need for Qixuan.
Qi Xuan bit his scalp and said, "Okay." He can't let his old lady work so hard, then he is really unfilial.
Things in Xiangyang should be early rather than late. Qiyou informed Qixuan of the few people he picked out who did not want to go with the county prime minister, and said that these people could be used. Then, he took Zhang Zhentao and three hundred soldiers and horses to Xiangyang.
Qiyou's letter reached the capital as quickly as possible, and reached Qihao's hands.
"Smack..." Qi Hao slapped his face and patted the Yushuan hard.
Hong Lang looked at Qi Hao, who was pale, and asked, "Grandfather, what happened?" He hadn't seen Qi Hao for a long time, and he had made such a big fire.
"Read it for yourself!" After speaking, he handed the letter in his hand to Hong Lang.
After reading the letter, Hong Lang's complexion was also very ugly: "Grandfather, these people are too bold to do it." Officials defended the people, robbed the people, murdered and set fire. Had it not been for Qiyou to write this letter, he would have thought it was a random fabrication!
Qi Hao said: "If it weren't for your emperor's grandmother, we still don't know how many years we will be kept in the dark."
He always felt that the world was governed very well by him. Nowadays, the country is prosperous and the people are strong, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. As a result, reality slapped him severely.
Hong Lang took the initiative to ask: "Grandfather, grandson wants to deal with Xiangyang's affairs." Not to mention that the great-grandmother is getting older, even the two uncles and grandfathers are also very young, so you can't let them be affected.
Qi Hao nodded and said: "Then you rush to Xiangyang immediately." Thinking of the situation in Xiangyang, Qihao ordered four officials to go to Xiangyang with him.
After Honglang set off, Qi Hao immediately summoned Zaifu Zhang Liguo and several Shangshu from the household department to enter the palace. With such a big incident in Xiangyang, the officialdom must be purged. The vacant position must be filled.
Because the Xiangyang matter was not deliberately concealed, it spread throughout the capital within three days. There are children in the family who are officials in Xiangyang, and they are a little panicked.
Over the years, Qi Hao has been more gentle with his age. Ordinary officials have found out about corruption. As long as they are not serious, they will be dismissed and never hired and will not be guilty. But Yuxi is different. You must know that when Yun Qing and Yuxi were in power, they were dismissed from office and quarreled with light plots, and they had to beheaded to show the public after looting their homes with heavy plots. So at that time, the official governance was very clear and bright.
Xinyue heard that something was wrong with Xiangyang, so she hurried back to the Palace of King Kang to find Zhou Shushen: "Mother concubine, do you know about Xiangyang?"
How could Zhou Shushen not know such a big matter.
Xinyue hurriedly asked, "Mother, I remember that my eldest cousin worked as a errand in Xiangyang." Although she had reconciled with Zhou Min, Zhou Mincai's eldest cousin treated her very well. When she was young, she would bring some gadgets to play with her every time she came to King Kang's Mansion.
Zhou Shushen smiled and said: "Your eldest cousin was in Xiangyang when he was released, but he was transferred to Jinzhou five years ago." The overseas transfer to Jinzhou means Honglang.
Xinyue breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good." Xinyue doesn't want to be involved in a person as good as his eldest cousin.
It is also because Zhou Min is not in Xiangyang, Zhou Shushen is so calm. If not, it should be anxious to get angry.
Seeing that Xinyue still cares about Zhou's people, Zhou Shushen is very pleased: "You don't have to worry, your eldest cousin is pure-hearted, and will never do anything illegal and disciplined by the people." Although Zhou Min's talent is not outstanding, he is down-to-earth. Therefore, Honglang has not hesitated to promote him over the years.
Zhou Shushen valued her natal nephews and her nephews, as long as they could serve as a good servant, Hong Lang wouldn't mind reusing them.
After talking about Xiangyang, Zhou Shushen inevitably talked about Xinyue's life-long events: "Xinyue, what kind of person do you want to find again?" Xinyue is only twenty-four this year, so how can you not find it at such a young age!
Xinyue said: "Mother concubine, I won't be filial until next year!" She is planning to keep filial piety for 27 months. Now, a year has not passed.
Zhou Shushen naturally also knows this reason: "You can tell your concubine first, and the concubine must have a good idea." Xinyue and Empress, the market is still very good. After Yun Qing had been full for a hundred days, someone came to Zhou Shushen to find out.
Xinyue was silent and said, "Mother concubine, even if I remarry, I want to choose a candidate by myself." Or, let Hong Lang help in the selection. Anyway, just don't choose Zhou Shu carefully. With Zhou Mincai ahead of this, she no longer believed Zhou Shushen.
Zhou Shushen's eyes turned red after hearing these words: "Xinyue, are you still complaining about your mother?"
Even if she remarried, Xinyue didn't want Zhou Shushen to interfere. So, seeing Zhou Shushen like this, she couldn't bear it, but Xinyue still said: "Mother concubine, Hong Lang did not agree with me to marry my second cousin back then, because you insisted on marrying me to Zhou's family."
The reason Hong Lang objected at the time was that apart from saying that the cousins were too close to each other by blood, it might be harmful to the offspring, and another point was that Zhou Min was a master of learning, low temper and impetuousness.
After a pause, Xinyue smiled bitterly: "But I also blame myself, I didn't have a strong opinion at the time." She thought that Zhou Shushen was a mother-in-law and would not harm her. But now I understand that the mother concubine will not harm her, but she also has her own selfishness.
If Zhou Minxue is really talented, that's fine, but this person is clearly a garish. After studying for so many years, even a Juren couldn't pass the exam. She is also stupid, and really believes that Zhou Min's learning is just bad luck.
Zhou Shushen was a little frustrated: "I don't care about your business in the future."
In fact, saying these things made Xinyue feel uncomfortable. But if she didn't do this, Zhou Shushen still interfered in her affairs. She is no longer a three-year-old child, and she wants to make her own decisions.
On the way back, Xinyue was depressed and bowed her head thinking. Suddenly, the carriage stopped.
Xinyue opened the curtain and saw a crowd of people in front of her. Vaguely, there was the cry of a child.
Frowning her brows, Xinyue said: "Go and see what happened before?"
Soon, the entourage returned: "Princess, a woman fainted on the street with her child. Everyone was watching, no one dared to care."
Xinyue heard the words and said: "Send to the hospital!"
Not long after they got home, the entourage came back: "Princess, the woman died before she was sent to the hospital. The little girl, the little one was brought back."
Xinyue frowned and asked, "Do you know where this woman's husband's house is?"
The entourage shook his head: "She went without opening her eyes."
Xinyue thought for a while and said, "First put the child in the house and let Chen's mother take care of it for a few days. When her family finds it, let them take it back."
"Princess, what about this woman?"
Xinyue said: "Buy her a thin coffin and put it in Yizhuang first. When her family finds it, it will be returned to her family."
She didn't sit still, and asked the people in the house to find out the identity of the woman.
After two days, the housekeeper told Xinyue that the woman had come from Anhui. Brought her child to Beijing to join her family, but her relatives moved out two years ago. As for where to move, it is unclear for the time being.
Xinyue asked, "What about her husband's house?"
The housekeeper said: "As far as the store where she stayed knows, the woman's husband passed away from illness. Her husband's family couldn't accommodate her, so she came to Beijing to join her."
"You send someone to bury that woman!"
The housekeeper nodded, and then asked: "Princess, does this kid stay in the house?"
Xinyue hesitated. She originally just wanted to do a good thing, but she never thought of raising this child.
Upon seeing this, the housekeeper immediately said: "The princess, send this child to the kindergarten!" When the princess is still young, he has to marry again. People without children want a son to inherit incense. With children, whoever has nothing to eat will adopt a little girl. Moreover, if the sender is not good, it will cheat the child instead.
Xinyue thought for a while, and felt that this idea was also a good idea: "Then you will send it yourself." The Ci Kindergarten in the capital specializes in adopting orphans and abandoned children. The environment there is good, and the children can eat and wear warmly.
After that, Xinyue shook her head and said: "Forget it, I'll send it by myself!" In doing things, it is better to have a beginning and an end.
Early the next morning, Xinyue sent the child to Ci Kindergarten. I had a good conversation with the steward so that she must take good care of the child. Then, leaving a bunch of food and going back.
Xinyue and the housekeeper said: "From now on, I will buy some food and send it to Ci Kindergarten every month."
She thought the matter was over, but she didn't want Chen Muqing, the first wife of the Prince You Palace, to come over in the afternoon.
When Chen Muqing came this time, she had some discussions with Xinyue.
Hearing Chen Muqing said that she hopes to manage Ci Children's Home with her, Xinyue shook her head repeatedly: "No, sister-in-law, I can't do it."
Holding Xinyue's hand, Chen Muqing said, "Xinyue, my sister-in-law believes you can do a good job."
Xinyue still shook her head. There are so many children in the Tzu Children's Home, how can she manage it!
Chen Muqing said: "The girls' school, the charity kindergarten, and the women's almshouse are all the hard work of my great-grandmother. So after taking it from my mother, I have always taken care of it. It's just that I have to take care of the two children, and I have to take care of the palace. I have to take care of the affairs of the Charity Kindergarten. A few days ago, the imperial doctor said that I have some blood loss, and I can no longer work hard and need to take good care of my body. If not, the root of the disease will fall." She is only in her twenties this year, but she doesn’t want to. Suffering from the fall of the body. Therefore, I wanted to find someone to help me manage the Ci Kindergarten together. In this way, she doesn't have to be so tired. But this candidate is not easy to find. Not only does he have a high status, he also has to be caring. Knowing that a mother and son had been saved on Xinyue Street, she came to her door.
Xinyue thought about Yuxi's indoctrination to her, and couldn't say anything if she wanted to refuse: "Sister-in-law, I'm afraid I can't do well."
Seeing her loosening, Chen Muqing smiled and said: "Xinyue, the affairs of Ciyouyuan is just a bit cumbersome and not complicated. Besides, there is me!" She just asked Xinyue to help manage Ciyouyuan together. It's not just quitting.
Xinyue thought for a while and said, "Sister-in-law, you let me consider it." After all, this is not a trivial matter, and she dare not rashly agree. If it is not done well, it will be too shameful.
Chen Muqing nodded and said, "I am waiting for your news."
